She was the mother two two daughters: Harper and Dax.
Her mother added, ‘She was unequivocally herself all the time, and that’s one of the things that made her absolutely wonderful,’ Kocik said. ‘If we can just remember her for who she was, not things that happened in the past, just recently, just all the good things about her.’
‘There’s no blame to be made. There’s no questions that need to be answered right now,’ she said. ‘The only thing that we need to do is just remember her.’
She operated the boutique shop from Kentucky, selling her custom T-shirts and apparel on online platforms like Etsy and Shopify.
Her final TikTok was from August 15.
‘Guys, we haven’t been on here in a little bit,’ she said as she said one of her daughters had fractured her arm.
Her mom is having a hard time.
‘We’ve struggled. This has been awful, just absolutely awful,’ she said via TikTok. ‘No parent should have to go through this, ever, and I hope no parent ever does again. She was my only daughter. She was my only kid, and now I don’t have her at all.’
In a separate TikTok video, Kocik revealed that a celebration of life is in the works.
